Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ion binding activity; protein kinase activity; and tau protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment or maintenance of cell polarity regulating cell shape; generation of neurons; and regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to act upstream of or within Wnt signaling pathway; cell differentiation; and phosphorylation. Located in basal cortex and nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; and oocyte. Orthologous to human MARK2 (microtubule affinity regulating kinase 2).
